Who Owns the Responsibility to Shift the Lens of Bias in an Organization?
/in Uncategorized /A very pertinent question emerged during an inclusion session to celebrate Black History month in the UK. One specific and thought-provoking question by a session participant triggered multiple discussion threads.

Digital Intelligence at Atos Part One: Successfully Leading Digitally Intelligent People
/in Uncategorized /Digital Intelligence not only describes a new set of skills and capabilities but also sheds light on the need to change behaviors and attitudes. From my experience, it is crucial to understand how both dimensions contribute to achieving this kind of new intelligence in order to excel in an environment undergoing substantial digital transformation—with established leaders willing to learn from emerging talent. First of all, it is very important to understand that the distinct disciplines of business and technology we knew in the past, with their different approaches to way-of-working, mindsets, behaviors, and cultures, are now gone. This is difficult […]
